If the military were anything like our damn leaders we would be in a world of hurt. Ever hear of working as a TEAM to get a job done? Even when we disagreed with each other we had to work it out for the good of all to get the mission accomplished. We are and were all individuals with ideas, opinions and most times some common sense. I wonder about those sheeple in D.C. Did you see those "leaders" (and I use that term loosely) during the state of the union address? Before they dared clap, cheer, etc. they had to look around to see what the people on "their side" were doing. If they really gave a damn about what is good for the UNITED states of America would they give a rat's ass what someone else was thinking IF they were looking out for we the people and not we the VOTERS? Politicians...what is their real purpose? I know what a leader is supposed to do but I can tell ya folks our damn politicians ain't leading! How about term limits on those jerks!? I love this country and what it could and should be. I sure as hell don't like where we are right now. Hey you folks that call yourself leaders...how about some old fashioned courage! That goes for all leaders in all cities, states and companies. Stand up and lead and lead with some damn pride! So you assholes in the D of C...lead the team or get out of the way so someone with some courage and common sense and decency can do your job!&lt;br /&gt;Check out &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1-jasxb7NY"&gt;this video&lt;/a&gt; if you can stand to listen to Obama debate the GOP.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1669950361444377431-9042805399180574197?l=crankyoldbasterd.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crankyoldbasterd.blogspot.com/feeds/9042805399180574197/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://crankyoldbasterd.blogspot.com/2010/01/there-is-no-asshole-in-team.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1669950361444377431/posts/default/9042805399180574197'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1669950361444377431/posts/default/9042805399180574197'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crankyoldbasterd.blogspot.com/2010/01/there-is-no-asshole-in-team.html' title='There is no asshole in &quot;TEAM&quot;'/><author><name>CrankyOldBastard</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15897465461488359420</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tgZIH7J6Hmc/S2S690irdGI/AAAAAAAAAAo/M3NW51ZJtiQ/S220/the_bird.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
